Reviews Summary“Fake news!” We’ve all heard about it, but some of us clearly have no idea what it is. The answer is simple: Fake news is a news report based on something other than direct or reasonable circumstantial evidence. When it comes to the 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport, the direct and circumstantial evidence suggests that this new small crossover SUV’s name is the epitome of fake news. There is nothing sporty about the new Rogue Sport, except for maybe its styling. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2025 Mazda CX-50 is one of two compact SUVs in the automaker's portfolio, sitting below the bigger Mazda CX-90 and Mazda CX-70 and above the CX-30 compact crossover in the automaker’s lineup. It joined the existing Mazda CX-5 in 2023 rather than replacing it, which was an odd decision considering their similarities. Nevertheless, just like the Mazda3 sedan and hatchback and the MX-5 Miata sports car, they're the fun yet refined choice in the class. The 2025 Mazda CX-50's new hybrid powertrain adds fuel efficiency to the mix, giving it an edge over its CX-5 sibling. Verdict: The 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid brings a potent yet efficient powertrain to an already sporty SUV. Combined with attractive styling and a near-luxury interior, it would be hard to beat if it weren't for its limited passenger and cargo space. | |
